REPORT

I have multiple sclerosis fibromyalgia osteoporosis and sciatica arthritis and two discs on my back I do take Vicodin 7.2 / 375 but my doctor said if I call in and it's only one a day that she would have to refer me to the pain clinic and the pain clinic only want to give you oxycodone which causes me to vomit sometimes I believe that if a patient needs pain medication they should be allowed to have it maybe if all these movie stars didn't kill themselves because they're addicted to drugs it will make it easier for people who really needed them to get them. I have a 90 day supply so if I have more pain at night I can't take anything because of the guidelines that the FDA or whoever has put on the pain medication even though I have all these things which I should be allowed to have something or I should be allowed to have the Vicodin twice a day if I need it. I know more people addicted to Percocet and Oxycodone from pain clinics then from their own doctor. Having multiple sclerosis I have pain and as I get older does get worse Baclofen is a waste of time it does not help with the pain and it also can cause ovarian cyst so I don't even know what to do I was on Zanaflex which is equal to Baclofen but I would have to take it only at night. I'm afraid to take the back of a now because of the ovarian cyst so all you people who believed Soma is a better drug yes it is I was prescribed it by a neurologist of the Massachusetts General Hospital she prescribed to at night then my neurologist took me off so I have never had it since then and that's years ago but do I think it works better then baclofen or Zanaflex yes I do and for you people who think that people want it because they're addicted to it maybe you should have some of the pain that I have.

No it's not the same as Oxycontin. It's Roxinol.

Hello, Jane! How are you?

They both contain Oxycodone, but the Roxicodone is a regular release formulation, while Oxycontin is time released.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
